A few things!

[themegaloo]

Firstly, I finally remembered the other amusing story I had intended to relate yesterday:

So, for like, ALL OF LAST YEAR, including the summer, I lived on the third floor, backside of the building. Well, back as in "the side not facing campus," because if you're ON that side it would seem to be the front and all, but for simplicity's sake, I'm calling it the backside of the building

Then a few weeks ago I moved to the SECOND floor on the [relative] frontside of the SAME building. [Not sharing space with so many people so it's smaller and I like it <3 Plus my roommate? Completely fabulous. Only awkward point is the ex-boyfriend across the hall who FLEES, apparently, when he seens me. =/]

So yesterday, walking in from class, etc, so on, so forth, dullness, listening to music and then....then I realize I'm five steps from the third floor on the [relative] backside of the building!

So, naturally, I face palm and waltz around the third floor and go down the steps next to my room. I know, it's not a thrilling story in the least, but I know some people will want to taunt me with it at least!

Other Notable Happenings:
1. Look at my previous entry. Look at the number of comments [currently 167]. I have -never in my life- had that many comments to a post in my LJ. Ever. My inbox? It died. I have it going through Thunderbird, checking like, every minute, I believe for that account and I was getting comment notifications in groups of between 4 and 6 every few minutes for a while. I loved it! *amused*
2. I do solemnly swear not to call Matt adorable.
3. Does anyone know where I can find jeans with like, striped [via seams] pant legs?
4. ...brain died. I swear there was more. Why does this always happen to me?! *headdesk*

Comments

Not particularly. Blind, apparently.

Decently. Hourly. More than minimum wage, which is $5.15/hr currently. I get $7/hr. Dunno how that matches up against your cool FUTURE time.

Oh, and did you see this (http://lilapotter.livejournal.com/195708.html) by chance? I thought you might find it amusing.

[popcornlasers.livejournal.com]

I dunno minumum wage today--I assume you're talking about in the States?--as I've never worked for it. I pull a few hundred American dollars a job as a minumum--lower-paying jobs usually aren't worth it unless they're particularly fun--and that's plenty to support me and Mello, though he works when he can too. I don't think I could ever work a steady job like you do.

And I did. :D I found it particularly amusing--and thanks for the compliment, by the way. If there were a manga or something about you I would be sure to check it out.

[themegaloo.livejournal.com]

Yeah, the States. And I never really meant to get the job at all, honestly. I was just sitting in class one day when a classmate just went "Hey, do you want a job?" and I blinked and went "Sure!" and there it was.

Doesn't sound like a bad life, really. Not one I could live, both because of lack of skill in any area of that nature and lack of oppotunity. Note: small town.

More than welcome of course. And now that makes me wish there was manga or something about me. XD Though I doubt it would be interesting. Unless it were just the saga of stupid things that happen in my life. And by stupid, I mean stupid.

Maybe it will boost some of my flist into actually posting to my journal.

Speaking of. Would you mind if I friended you?

[popcornlasers.livejournal.com]

Well at least you didn't have to go out and find one. That's the most difficult part.

No, I think it's all right. Sometimes I get requests from people I'd rather not deal with, but I get to pick and choose which jobs I accept so it's not too bad--unless the pickings are slim and I'm desperate, but that hasn't happened in over a year now. :D

I fail to see how a manga about me is interesting at all. I haven't done much--certainly not anything worthy of a story--and I'm not all that special. The whole idea is kind of weird.

Go ahead. :D I already friended you.

[themegaloo.livejournal.com]

Yeah, lucky chance, that was. I hate having to go around saying "PLS HIRE MEEEE," yuck.

Glad it's all going well. Being desparate isn't good. Especially if it goes hand-in-hand with being hungry.

It was a pretty all-encompassing story line. If it were possible to send to you, I would. Just for novelty's sake. Do you reckon it is?

Ah, thanks! I've done so now.

I'm about to officially get lazy on picking icons out for each comment. I think I've used almost every single one I have.

[popcornlasers.livejournal.com]

Yes, I refused to do something so humiliating.

Thanks. I went through all that once upon a time, in New York of all places. But I got through it all right, and now I can have practically anything I want. :D

All right. ^^

I don't care enough about this thing to actually pay for an account, and I don't like the ads, so I only have the six. I don't mind.

[themegaloo.livejournal.com]

Eh, I've had this one for 4 1/2 years. I like playing with the customizations and all. *shrugs* Not that you could currently tell since this is one of those new default layouts. I'm being lazy, shh.

One summer my mum drug me out and rather...forced me to do so. And I ended up spending that summer with my head in a popcorn popper at the movie theatre. Still can't really convince myself to eat that stuff again.

[popcornlasers.livejournal.com]

Well I've only had this journal a few weeks, so I haven't felt the need to change mine yet. I don't really mind anyway.

Yeah? I never had anyone force me to do anything--not since before I left, anyway--so I'm on my own. I think I prefer it. :D

[themegaloo.livejournal.com]

Yours looks pretty cool. Mine is caught in a perpetual state of "lame" and/or "dysfunctional."

Lucky you, not having people force you into things. I mean, it's alright and all, but I know I prefer when I choose to do things for myself. I'm far more likely to follow through.

[popcornlasers.livejournal.com]

Your journal isn't bad, though I don't really like the way the comments disappear when the thread gets too long. That's kind of odd. :/

Well at least you grew up with your parents, you know? I think too many people take that for granted.

[themegaloo.livejournal.com]

I love my mum and dad. I still call home all the time. With them, some pushing around's exepected and okay.

It's other people that I make angry faces about. Like exes.

And that is irksome. I need to work on that. I only threw this up the other day, and that's really the only problem I've noticed.

[popcornlasers.livejournal.com]

I haven't spoken to mine in...Christ, I don't know. I barely remember them.

Exes...yes, I know the feeling. Though I think I've perfected the art of hiding from them once the breakup is complete. :D

Okay. That's all I've noticed too, really.

[themegaloo.livejournal.com]

That really rather...sad.

Mine lives across the hall. Hello, awkwardsville. Well, actually, I'm fine. He gets nutso and flees.

[popcornlasers.livejournal.com]

Eh, not much I can do about it, is there?

Yeah, ouch. I tended to move if that happened. It was a pain in the ass, though. D:

[themegaloo.livejournal.com]

I figure if he's so awkward, he can be the one to move. I like where I'm living rather a lot.

*chuckles* Hey, His problem. I'm cool.

I think at this point, the layout would be fucked regardless. How long is this chain of comments? Like, 74 comments long.

[popcornlasers.livejournal.com]

Well I lived in a bunch of really shitty apartments for a while, so I didn't mind.

Heh, yeah, I guess you're right. :D

[themegaloo.livejournal.com]

What's really amusing is that it's a single, entirely unbroken chain...how often does THAT happen? Not very.

I'm pretty lucky in my living spaces, pretty nice, generally. Except for the one where the AC broke. In August. In Georgia. Ouch.

[popcornlasers.livejournal.com]

Haha, yeah. We're currently spamming some other fangirl's poor journal. I believe we've broken 400 comments since she went to bed. I won't blame her if she never wants to talk to me again. >.>

Never been to Georgia. :D And we live in a pretty nice place now. There was a recent security breech, so we moved.

[themegaloo.livejournal.com]

Oh dear, a security breach? Doesnt sound fun. But hooray for living in a nice place?

And yes, I saw. Remember, I popped in about Rukia. For a few minutes at least.

[popcornlasers.livejournal.com]

No, it really wasn't. -_- There are still a few complications, but we should be able to work them out soon. Fucking brat.

Yes, I remember. :D

[themegaloo.livejournal.com]

Can I ask what happened, or would that...compromise things?

[popcornlasers.livejournal.com]

Oh, he's already flaunted it all over unlocked posts, so I hardly see what difference telling you would make. This AU Near hacked my system when I was ah, otherwise occupied, and used one of my webcams to snatch a rather intimate video of me and Mello--with our fucking faces, the moron. He then proceeded to malfunction the cam so I didn't notice it. Little bastard. He seems to think the whole thing is funny.

[themegaloo.livejournal.com]

I. Oh. Oh dear, yes, that's quite a breach for you. *frowns* Just. wow.

And he thought it was funny? Regardless of the fact that the two of you value the protection of your identity so highly... it was a private moment and he'd no right to intrude like that. =/

[popcornlasers.livejournal.com]

He's ignoring me now, and I don't know what to do about it. I told Mello to hire someone better, but he refuses, so...I'm doing what I can not to let it happen again. He's caught his Kira, though, so I guess he thinks the danger is over. -_-

[themegaloo.livejournal.com]

So he was...in your employment?

But obviously, the danger hasn't ended for you.

Nyah, yucky situation, that. Because he has good experience to help, but at the same time, he's endangering you, right?
